Modern Warfare+Armored Core+Metal Gear Solid?
I mean, it sounds interesting at the least but innovative? Eh, I don't know, I need to find out more before I can judge.

Just remember that in previews, especially early previews where we still don't know very much about how a game actually plays, every game sounds like the most fun, interesting, and innovative game ever.
Every. Single. One.
It's impossible to tell for sure if the game will actually live up to the promises until the game actually comes out.

I'd like to see some innovation from the haters of the series. Seriously. These kids have been spouting the same ignorant, unoriginal nonsense for years.
"This aspect was done before in this game."
"Gameplay will be exactly the same."
Shut the fuck up. If you want something wholly original, make your own game. Oh, wait. You can't because you're a no tallent ass that doesn't know a mesh or group of vertices from the cookie crumbs on your desk.
Hypocrites.

CoD makes for good, polished, safe games. Sure I'm sick of every publisher and their brother making a long string of clones, but CoD...that's there thing. They make these linear, cinematic shooting galleries with interesting set pieces. They make the Die Hard of video games. Ill put something like Portal 2 on the pedestal long before CoD, but with every CoD game, Ill get a few dozen solid fun hours of explosions and cathartic violence. They do a lot of things right design wise, and there's a reason there mechanics get copied. Adding some innovation, great, but please keep focused on the basics.
My only concern is the non-linear bit. Non linear stuff is great and all, but strict linearity can lead to a much more tightly focused, well paced, and enjoyable story, and overall linearity serves the CoD style well. Nonlinearity and sandbox gets thrown in as buzzwords and reduces a game to a giant mess. I can"t name a single game that had non linearity added to it, and didn't see that weaken the game.

I like the change of setting, Ill give it that much. But im reeeeeeeeally reserving judgement for the "branching story" and "in depth characters" bits. Considering this is coming from the team that made Black Ops 1.DustlessDragoon said:
Oh and also...zombie campaign...really....really???? Are we really scrapping the bottom of the barrel this much to get attention?
A critics skill in making games has nothing to do with the validity of their opinion. 99% of game reviewers dont know how to make games, so are their opinions completely invalid?-Samurai- said:
Also nothing in their statements was actually hypocritical. If you're going to have a fanboy rant and swear and call names at least be accurate.
I'm mainly just hoping for futuristic multiplayer maps with teleports, elevators, crawling through air vents, shooting lights out so you need NVG, etc, etc. And more like Battlefield 3 in regards to large maps that are focused on vehicle combat. So I can go full stealth, or rambo style, or just rock up in a tank or helicopter and blow shit up.
While the current gameplay is almost perfected, and there are varients of stealth and such, really, all gameplay types are just a varient of run n' gun, every man for him(her)self. While it's good arcade action, I also want it to deverge more into a battle/war feeling, so I can play any style I want and each style feels unique and feel like there's an overall point to each match.

I'm surprised that they have DEDICATED zombie campaign. As in a separate campaign entirely about zombies to the normal campaign. As far as I know zombies was just a mode in WaW and Blops.Korten12 said:
Amazing, all these brilliant ideas!
I so believe these claims, just like Bioohwait.
Sorry, seeing this as little more than a ploy to try wrangle some extra pre-orders from people capable of independent thought.
To reuse a phrase, "Less of what you say, more of what you do"

I actually enjoy the Treyarch CODs quite a lot. World at War was great and Black Ops is the best game in the series. The multiplayer was balanced, the maps were well designed, and the zombies mode was fantastic. I'm looking forward to Black Ops 2.
I don't know, the enemies in Metal Arms are nothing but robots and they are ridiculously fun to kill.GethBall said:
OT: I've never really been interested in CoD to be honest. But this does sound like something the series needs.
Images or links please, otherwise everything you said is just words on a screen.DustlessDragoon said:
With that out of the way, the setting and "Strike Force" sounds like a mash of Homefront, Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 2142.
Hm...I might actually Consider getting this... And Zombie Mode will have it's own Story and what not... Sounds cool, Though What about PC...Will it have Dedicated Server and mod support>.>? Don't think it's gonna be a deal breaker for me though.
Fuck multipayer. I actually thought Black Ops had a really decent story to it, and loved that it not only connected with World at War (By the same developer, too) it also showed you what happened to one of the playable characters from WaW (Which made me rage. So hard). I honestly never had much of a problem with the linearity in the CoD games, I just wished they were more than four or five hours long. But hopefully, Black Ops 2 could be really fucking good.

It does sound interesting. Will be keeping an eye on it.
